Lily the Lamb: Stippling Technique with Kelly Latevola

Life has been crazy so it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on the blog to share.

Today we are talking about a texture technique called stippling. It’s super easy and a great way to add dimension to your animals along with some fluffy texture. I’m using Lily The Lamb for today’s card but you can definitely apply it to a ton of other animals.

I started by stamping and masking Lily. This isn’t necessary if you are using the dies to pop Lily up. However, I thought it would be helpful to show it both ways in case you are a one layer lover like myself 🙂

After Lily was stamped and masked I created the background using my distress inks and some masks. It’s super simple just make sure you keep both pieces. You’re going to need them.

Once the background was in I went in with my copic markers to create the grass texture. Copics were also used to color up Lily using the stippling technique. You can watch the entire card come together in the video below. You can also hear about my recent spider adventures haha

Like I said in the video the technique is super simple. Smaller dots are better but it may take a bit of practice. More dots = darker shading.

I hope you’ll give this technique a try in the future. It really is a great way to add texture to your fuzzier animal stamps 🙂
